Some customers of Barclays and Santander had difficulties accessing their online bank accounts over the weekend, due to 'systems issues'.

"There were some systems issues which resulted in slow running [of online access]," a spokesperson for Barclays said.

Barclays' problems occurred "intermittently" on Friday and Saturday, while Santander confirmed that its glitch had affected some of its online banking customers "for a short time on the morning of Friday 25 May".
